Chapter 1029: Peak VS Peak
Origin Leopard Pill and Fire Qilin Blood.
The former could allow him to have an increase of twenty percent of his strength for a short period of time. The latter contained incredibly great vitality and recovery abilities. It could restore HP, and it was also the greatest medicine to restore qi.
When he saw that Shi Zhixuan was less than ninety-eight feet away from him and would soon threaten him, Happy was finally unable to hold himself back. He took an Origin Leopard Pill and also, in a fit of wastefulness, took a drop of Fire Qilin Blood as well.
In an instant, the blood in his body boiled.
A crazed wave of heat immediately filled his limbs.
At the same time, all his meridian systems seemed as if they had started boiling. His qi and blood surged, and qi started to grow in endless waves in him.
Happy did not waste time.
He did not use Recondite Steel Heavy Sword to block or crush the Arhat Buddha statues in front of him. Instead, he used Wave-like Subtle Steps, and his speed suddenly increased by leaps and bounds. He instantly charged forward and slipped through the gap of a group of Arhat Buddha statues while they attacked him.
The sudden increase in speed caused the Arhat Buddha statues to miss in their attacks. However, what came soon was another group of Arhat Buddha statues quickly reacting to the situation and attacking to stop him.
Petite Dragon!
Right when he moved past the second group of Arhat Buddha statues, the third group’s attacks came at him from everywhere to lock down his escape routes.
However, Happy had clearly expected this beforehand. Suddenly, waves of true origin gushed out of his body and set up a tight aura three feet around his body.
Wave-like Subtle Steps!
He avoided quite a lot of attacks from the statues in front of him on point, and he also delivered his body to the hands and feet of several Arhat Buddha statues.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In an instant, he was punched three times and kicked four times. His true origin aura quickly shrank by one-third its original size. Happy’s face turned slightly pale, but because of the huge force from the attacks, his body was propelled dozens of feet forward.
Shi Zhixuan could see this clearly while he remained behind Happy.
When he saw that Happy had used the inertia from the Arhat Buddha statues’ attacks to instantly widen the distance between them by dozens of feet, his face turned dark.
“A cheap trick…”
But soon, he still felt that Happy’s trick had created an obstruction to him.
After all, the Arhat Buddha statues ahead of him were never destroyed, and more Arhat Buddha statues began to attack him, causing him to use up a lot of his true qi. At the same time, he was also accidentally hit a few times. Right now, when he faced even more Arhat Buddha statues, he could not help but slow down a little.
And when he slowed down, Happy used the powerful defense in his true origin aura as well as the power and inertia in the Arhat Buddha statues to widen the distance between them a few times. Very soon, he approached the borders of the Arhat formation.
Shi Zhixuan flew into a rage.
“Thinking of leaving?!”
The strongest person in the evil cult was finally unable to continue clearing the Arhat Formation as steadily as before. When he saw that Happy was about to bring one of the stone plates from the ancient divine monk away from Dafo Temple, a layer of black light suddenly shot out of his body. With an evil gaze, he instantly approached an Arhat Buddha statue before he struck at lightning speed.
The Arhat Buddha Statue weighed over one thousand pounds, and it was sent flying into the air with just one palm strike by Shi Zhixuan.
Whoosh!
Then, like a small hill, it charged effortlessly forward with a destructive momentum.
All the Arhat Buddha statues along the way were crushed when it rammed into them.
Shi Zhixuan followed closely behind the Arhat Buddha statue he sent flying. With a cold gaze, he rode on the tail of the wind, and the distance of hundreds of feet between him and Happy was instantly reduced by half.
When he saw that the momentum in the Arhat Buddha statue was about to fade away, Shi Zhixuan’s black hair suddenly started flying even though there was no wind. His qi became stronger, and he struck the Arhat Buddha statue violently.
He followed behind the Buddha statue.
In an instant, countless Arhat Buddha statues along the way were crushed once more.
However, after attacking twice, Shi Zhixuan turned slightly pale. His qi suddenly weakened for a moment before it fell back inside him and could no longer be sensed.
*****
Bang!
Right when Happy got out of the Arhat formation, Shi Zhixuan also charged out from behind the Arhat Buddha statue almost at the same time. The Arhat Buddha statue was like a small hill that came at Happy with a destructive momentum. It was so fast that it would terrify anyone who ever heard about it.
“Break!”
When he noticed that Shi Zhixuan was following behind the statue, Happy knew that he could not avoid the fight any longer, so he immediately gritted his teeth and shouted. His Recondite Steel Heavy Sword stirred up the clouds and wind before it turned into a black dragon that devoured everything. It crashed into the Buddha statue that shot at him with an indomitable spirit.
Boom!
An astonishing bang rose, and it was followed by an explosive force that shook the ground and mountains.
Happy coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backwards like a cannonball. He crashed violently into a broken wall in Dafo Temple, and he fell into the dust in an incredibly pathetic manner.
But Shi Zhixuan was not in that good of a situation either.
Even though Happy suffered a full-powered attack from him, the tough and fierce force within the swing from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword contained a brutal hidden force, and it had actually sent all the broken pieces of the Buddha statue back at Shi Zhixuan.
Shi Zhixuan’s qi had already weakened. When he was struck repeatedly by the shattered stones, he was sent more than thirty feet back. He only managed to stop moving after he had his feet stomp against the ground a few times.
Both sides had actually fought on equal grounds just now.
Even Shi Zhixuan himself felt that the situation was rather unbelievable, and he had shock appear on his face.
But what amazed him even more was that even though Happy had been struck with a full-powered Undying Seals, he had managed to get up very soon. His body also miraculously recovered its former presence.
Shi Zhixuan said nothing about this, but he could sense that the muscles on his cheek had begun twitching uncontrollably.
“I see, so you have the sacred medicine, Fire Qilin Blood with him. It’s no wonder then why you can recover from your injuries so quickly… No, you also used a high-grade medicinal pill that can increase your strength…”
As expected of Evil King, after he took a sniff at the air, he was able to analyze Happy’s current condition.
Although there were still some hints of puzzlement in his eyes, Shi Zhixuan’s expression turned much more pleasant than before.
*****
‘Shi Zhixuan’s condition seems to be slightly compromised…’
While Shi Zhixuan was analyzing Happy, Happy was also observing Shi Zhixuan. When he was actually able to send Evil King back with his slash just now, he had keenly noticed that Evil King had used up too much of his qi, and he was currently not at the peak of his condition, and a thought immediately appeared in his mind.
‘This is good news.’
Suddenly, Happy gave up on his thought of fleeing.
It was already a pipe dream for a Moksha Realm player to even consider fleeing from a martial artist at the peak of Myth Realm. Besides, the Chinese server was in a perilous situation right now. If he were unlucky enough to run into people from Class One Hall or attract the Prophet’s attention beforehand and had his strength revealed, it would not be good for Happy.
Since Shi Zhixuan had been injured and his strength had decreased slightly, instead of running all the time, it would be better for him to seize the chance to fight against Shi Zhixuan. After all, he had plenty of Fire Qilin Blood in his hands, and he also had a lot of recovery medicinal pills.
Evil King and Happy vanished from the spot almost at the same time.
Two black figures intersected with each other like lightning.
Undying Seals and Great Demonic World Destruction Art clashed against each other.
The former was strange, quick, and had domineering damage, but due to the domineering nature from the divine weapon, Recondite Steel Heavy, the latter had its strength increase by more than one level.
When Happy’s Recondite Steel Heavy Sword clashed against Evil King, both trembled.
Once they landed on the ground, they found that they had fought to a standstill again!
Shi Zhixuan’s expression was slightly dark.
Happy also frowned a little.
After he got rid of the suppression effect from Grieving Needle, his strength could be said to have increased by ten percent, and once he used Origin Leopard Pill, his strength had also increased by twenty percent. It meant that his strength had increased by nearly one-third compared to the time he fought against Empress Yin.
However, Evil King’s condition seemed to have weakened slightly.
While he was at his peak, he could only fight on equal grounds against Evil King, and this made Happy very dejected and resigned.
The ability among martial artists at the peak of Myth Realm in withstanding pressure was definitely outstanding.
But he did not know that for the sake of forcibly rushing out the Arhat Formation to catch up to Happy, Evil King had actually already used the profound skill within Undying Seals and forcefully increased his strength. While it could not compare to Empress Yin’s Heart Demon’s Sword, which made her stake most of her strength in one attack, the threat Evil King posed during this period of time actually surpassed that of Empress Yin.
Right now, Happy was facing Evil King while he was at the peak of his condition! He was facing the real Evil King!
A devastating battle began.
Even though the greatest strength Happy mustered was actually due to medicinal pills, this still enraged Evil King, and in his rage, he fought at full strength.
Each time they attacked, Happy’s true origin aura would look as if it had suffered a round of attacks from a group of martial artists at the beginning stage of Myth Realm. It quickly shrank by one-third its original size!
If it were not because the effect of Happy using Fire Qilin Blood did not disappear immediately, Happy might not have been able to last through even the fifth hit from Evil King’s fierce offense.
“Bastard!”
Even so, when he was struck the tenth time, Happy still felt as if all his bones were about to scatter, and he felt horrible.
Crack!
His feet sank deep into the earth, and two deep and long trenches were left behind on the ground.
Right when Happy looked up, Evil King had already completely controlled the situation as he attacked with the force of a storm. His fierce palm-generated wind descended from the sky.
Clang!
His entire body was lacking strength. While Happy activated Petite Dragon, he positioned his sword horizontally to block the attacks, because Petite Dragon could only help him buy one and a half seconds. It could not help him completely avoid Evil King’s attack.
In the beginning, they had been exchanging blows tit for tat, and they fought on equal grounds. But now, his entire body felt like it was about to fall apart. He had to rely on his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword to block Evil King’s offense, and Happy could be said to be at a disadvantage.
‘Damn it… so Evil King was actually hiding his strength…’ Happy would practically curse once every time he blocked one attacked. He retreated repeatedly in an incredibly pathetic manner.
“Die!”
The foundation of Evil King Shi Zhixuan’s strength was extraordinary. With each time they exchanged blows, he figured out that Happy’s qi recovery speed was gradually slowing down, and the recovery speed for his true origin aura was slowing down. He knew from this that the effects of Fire Qilin Blood were disappearing. Hence, he fought with greater ferocity than before, and the greatest killing intent rose on his face.
“Go!”
Happy used Wave-like Subtle Steps to deliver a fake thrust before he quickly swallowed a Small Reversion Pill. Then, he brought out another red drop of blood from his Universe Bag. A complicated expression showed up on his face.
This was his third drop of Fire Qilin Blood!
But for that mysterious stone plate, no matter how many drops of Fire Qilin Blood he had to sacrifice, it would be worth it.
Shi Zhixuan’s momentum was gradually weakening.
If he lasted through another round of attacks, perhaps the first to be unable to last would be Evil King!
When he thought of this, Happy gritted his teeth and swallowed that Fire Qilin Blood, and the familiar feeling of his qi and blood boiling rose in him. The warm feeling of strength filling his limbs rose once more.
At that moment, an airy and clear voice suddenly rose from above his head.
“The stone plates are sacred items of Buddhists left behind by Divine Monk Dafo. How can I afford to let them fall into the hands of the evil cult? Evil King, please return them to me quickly, or else, I will be forced to be the one personally taking them from you…”
